The major in Kinesiology (formerly Exercise Science) offers an interdisciplinary approach to the study of human movement. The Kinesiology major is primarily a pre-professional program and an ideal choice for students interested in healthcare professions that involve physical rehabilitation, such as, but not limited to physical therapy, occupational therapy, clinical exercise physiology and medical school. The major provides students with a strong biological and physical science-based foundation complemented by individual specialty courses in biomechanics, physiology, motor control & learning, and athletic training. The discipline of Kinesiology uses tools from biology, physics, neuroscience, engineering, medicine, and computer science to understand important problems related to cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and metabolic health.<br><br>The University of Delaware Catalog for the Kinesiology major provides the Program Educational Goals, the full curriculum, and a Four-Year Plan for the recommended sequence of courses. Notice that the number of elective credits provides a flexible curriculum that enables completion of one or more minor programs of study such as Strength & Conditioning, Disability Studies, Nutrition, or Spanish for Healthcare, and many more.
